Dornier Do 217 JV1

[Flyboy69]

Ok guys here is a nother one. It isn't my best one but It looks wicked.
It's the 1/48 Revell Do 217 converted into a what if Nightfighter.
The outerwings came from a Costers Aero Enterprise set for the 217 K/M version.
They were not needed so I made good use of them. The extra props were from a old Do 335 (the pusher props) and the engines were spares from a Ju 88.
The model is seen as it was not yet finished. The last picture is the only one I have when it was finished and standing in Telford.

Cheers Arnold

 Nicely done! The Njg version of the 217 series is a long-time favorite, and this is an interesting
extrapolation. Dornier certainly had  experience with this format, via the Do 26 flying boat.

Very well done, and very beautiful (and original); congratulations once more. In the nose appears a centimetric radar, isn´t it?. Very well done this innovation.

Yes I remember that one, wanted to speak to the builder, but at the time you weren't around. Like OGL says, pitch-up at the SIG stand anytime, you'll be very welcome.

Thanxs guys.

I thought that I was a nutball with this one. I some times have the strangest thoughts in my head and then I have to build it. But after staying 10 years in the closet I finaly did come out. Hehehehehe

Martin/Ian, I will be atending in Telford. I will get to the what if stand there. I don't know if I will be taking some models with me for your stand. There will be a What if Model for the competition. It's In its fase to be getting some paint and it's again an English aeroplane like last year (that was the Whirlwind).

Cheers Arnold
